The Rock Cooks Up First Look At Himself As Roadblock In G.I. Joe 2

Although filming doesn’t actually begin until later this month on the recently retitled G.I. Joe 2: Retaliation, star Dwayne Johnson, aka The Rock, is already hard at work on the sequel to 2009’s G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. How do we know? Because Johnson has tweeted photos of himself as Roadblock holding his weapon, and striking a pose at NASA before combat training.

“Found my gun today! M249 SAW,” Johnson tweeted with the first photo. Slipping into his Rock persona, Johnson asked “Guess who/what I envision in my crosshairs,” a veiled “threat” directed toward WWE superstar John Cena. Johnson has been utilizing the social media platform since April to promote the promised WrestleMania 28 clash between the two superstars in April, 2012.

Oh yeah, a friend of mine met him, and he said he’s the biggest teddy bear of niceness you’d ever meet.

While seeing this guy as the Roadblock will be cool, The premise of this movie bugs me since Cobra Commander, Destro and the Baroness are not appearing in the film. I’m not sure what the plot is supposed to be.

Being an ex-marie, i myself have had the pleasure of operating a saw in the field. It is an awesome weapon to wield in combat, and requires alot of power to operate effectively. I dont think the Rock will have any problems though, he is the man. Been a fan of his since he was still a bad guy on WWE around 98′. Heres hoping that the Joes sequel will be a bit grittier and more realistic than the first.
